Ohio committee to vote on Internet cafe moratorium

COLUMBUS -- An Ohio Senate panel is poised to vote this evening on a bill that would immediately halt expansion of Internet cafes in the state.

The measure would extend a current moratorium on the opening of new sweepstakes gambling operations until June 2014. It would require operators of current facilities to file more thorough affidavits with the state. Those who don't file a new affidavit could face a fine of up to $1,000 a day.
